Moderate weather and a large crop made 1984 a "too good to be true" scenario for winemakers and growers. Harvest came early due to heat spells, and the resulting wines were very concentrated with high tannins. We used a higher proportion of French oak to build the structure and less American oak to avoid diminishing the fruit aroma.

Tasting Notes

Our last tasting of the 1984 revealed a bouquet of crushed violets and black currants with shy notes of earth, leather and spice with a touch of dried cherries. Tannins were almost gone with a little acid remains; still in balance with a juicy tang in the finish. Very Bordeaux like. The 750mL is well past its peak. For larger formats, drink now.
